World Language Coordinators

Most departments have a World Language Coordinator who coordinates the lower-level language classes (typically through the 2020 level). Students with questions about placement, exemptions, etc., should contact the World Language Coordinator; click on the name to send an email.

Students with general questions about language placement should contact their Association Dean in Monroe Hall or Dean Melissa Frost through the College (434-924-3351).
